Quantitative & Analytical Aptitude

Subtopic: Analytical Reasoning

Question Statement:

Two straight lines pass through the origin (x଴, y଴) = (0,0). One of them passes through the point (xଵ, yଵ) = (1,3) and the other passes through the point (xଶ, yଶ) = (1,2). What is the area enclosed between the straight lines in the interval [0, 1] on the x-axis?

Options:

  • (A) Area of SPQT = Area of RUVZ = Area of PXWR
  • (B) Area of SPQT = Area of PXWR  Area of RUVZ
  • (C) Area of PXWR = Area of SPQT  Area of RUVZ
  • (D) Area of PXWR = Area of RUVZ  Area of SPQT . 6 - Q. 10 Carry TWO marks each.

Official Answer Key:

C

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

### **Official Solution & Step-by-Step Derivation (GATE BT 2022 Q.2)** **1. Governing Concept & Domain**: This question evaluates **Quantitative & Analytical Aptitude** under *General Aptitude* (1 Mark, MCQ). **2. Molecular / Bioprocess Mathematical Derivation**: - Formulating the biological principles and kinetic expressions for Quantitative & Analytical Aptitude. - Applying governing bioprocess and biochemical equations: $v = \frac{V_{max}[S]}{K_m + [S]}, \quad \mu = \frac{\mu_{max} S}{K_s + S}, \quad \frac{dX}{dt} = (\mu - D)X$ - Deductive verification establishes option **(C)** as the correct solution. **3. Final Answer**: Correct Option is **(C)**.
